DS games are overpriced. And think about it: Would you rather get a DS game for free? or PAY for it? I would choose the first option. No company can stop piracy. Only a small percentage of DS users know about flashcarts, and I mean really small, so Nintendo is overreacting. Nintendo already knows that this is going to be hopeless. Also, flashcarts are not illegal.

I don't see where you guys are getting off at overpriced.

AAA list games have high budgets and there's about 70 people, including 20 programmers and 30 artists, and not even including the testers, who all work on a AAA list game. Don't they need to get paid? How else is the publisher/developer going to raise that money?

I dont see many AAA games on a nintendo product recently. Imagine? Catz? Dogz? All i see is shovelware.

Oh yeah, Plus how about in the first place do a proper job of security in your products and you wont have to worry about piracy

Are you telling me you pirate Catz, Dogz, Imagine?

Most DS pirates get games from Nintendo or Square Enix. (Triple A titles)

This is why Square Enix's games are $40 instead of $30, and also why they have so much anti-piracy measures built-in.

Lol, to sum this topic up: "F ck Nintendo". Quite the supportive demographic! This is way those Bratz and Imagine pieces of shit get developed. At least the 7yo bratz buy 'em!

the idiots....

Let's see how long it takes before Iwata and Metallica team up...
Forming the "We already got a bunch of your money but now we're pissed that you found how to get our stuff for free" league.


(Err, second post today mentioning Metallica... Guess I can't wait for the new GH)

Nothing to worry about, i mean isnt one of the rules, DON'T DISCUSS ROMS AND WHERE TO GET THEM,
or somat like that, i don't believe GBAtemp is hosting anything illegal.
